The summer sandals to flatter your toes this season

March 2015

With warmer weather just around the corner it's time to book that pedi and update your summer sandals for 2015. Don't be fooled into waiting until the last minute to buy your favourite pair: savvy shoppers should snap theirs up now - before the hoards descend. It happens all to often - you will clock a pair of sandals that you adore while the weather is still rainy and decide to wait until summer but, by the time the sun is out, they are out of stock. Be sure not to fall in to this trap and buy sandals early to avoid disappointment.

Sandals can be a real statement with plenty of embellished, colourful styles or you can choose a really simplistic style that you can throw on with anything. It’s often worth investing in the latter as simple sandals tend to stay in fashion and on trend for a few years – so you they’ll see you through two summers. If you’re jetting of on holiday – think about what kind of sandals you’re going to need. Perhaps you will need to take two pairs – a comfortable supportive sandal that will see you walking around tourist attractions and glamorous pair to see you into the evening events.

Whether it's a simple tan pair to go with every outfit, a bold colour pop hue to set off your bright painted toes or an ethnic-inspired pair with delicate beading, there's a summer sandal to suit every taste. Choose your pair from 14 of our favourite summer sandals, selected by our fashion experts...

This season 'pool slider' slip-on sandals are the style to be seen in - think chunky soles and thick straps, sprinkled with embellishment or super-simple in gleaming metallic shades.

If you're not ready to try the slider trend there are so many alternative styles to choose from.
